Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
A power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is
combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a
large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-981 boasts
high output power of 135 W for each of the 5 channels.
■
Stable Speaker Drive
In the AVR-981, the circuitry through which current flows to drive the
speakers has been incorporated onto a single board between the rectifier
circuit of the power source and the speaker terminals. A new phase
correction circuit has also been adopted, eliminating the need for an
output coil. Since this configuration allows the power transistor to drive
the speakers directly, there is no loss of power to any of the channels.
The sound that you hear is thus extremely stable as well as powerful.

The handy Personal Memory Plus function allows you to store the surround
mode, the level settings for all speakers, as well as the delay time, to
further customize the sound source. Simply push any source button
and it will instantly display the settings stored for that source.
